Back between 2001 and 2003, I convinced my mom to go in Blockbuster so I could rent a new movie and maybe a game.

My mom is a very smart lady (used to be an X-Ray tech and also work in sports medicine *not that those are scientist jobs, but she was a smart lady), just kind of naive and gullible sometimes.

I pick out a game and a movie, and then she goes and pays and I go look at other movies.  I find one, roll it up to her, and tell her that I want to rent it, too, so she looks down at it, sees it's called Black Beauty, and thinks it's a movie about horses.

It was a porno.

Score one for the cripple!
